Jon-Erik Kellso plays trumpet

[Lazaro Vega]

Trumpeter Jon-Erik Kellso is heard in the soundtrack to HBO’s hit series “Boardwalk Empire” as a member of Vince Giordano’s Nighthawks. He moved to NYC from Michigan to play with that band in 1989 after years of playing with James Dapogny’s Chicago Jazz Band. In his young life, Kellso was a member of Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp’s International Youth Symphony. As Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp celebrated its 50^th Anniversary (July 5, 1966), Jazz From Blue Lake brought you music by this esteemed former camper, available to listen to here: www.bluelake.org/ondemand

I heard them last winter, with buddy James Chirillo on guitar. Fun group. That looks like Scott Robinson in the pic...

It's at NYC's Ear Inn, I think. It is Scott, and is he on a tenor, or his C Melody sax?  (And doesn't Jon-Erik usually play cornet?)

Yes, Ear Inn. Image by Ben Guthrie. Jon plays a variety of horns on record.
